  •  Thank you for taking me seriously (none / 0)

    And thank you for explaining your concept of "decolonization" - it's a quite interesting way to look at the problem.  I can see how "empowerment" is a method to alleviating some of the subtle framework that causes sexism to persist.  I would also wholeheartedly agree with your identification of both religion and language as other parts of the framework, and I would suggest that both require more novel and less direct solutions as well (since you can't really regulate either).

    Thank you for saying in a few paragraphs what I couldn't say in a few pages - that the structural and legal barriers of bias are largely broken down, and that the lasting biases can be found in more subtle places.  I would add the one caveat that most people, guys included, do not like the persisting biases.  It's not like all guys are trying to keep all women down.  I only add that caveat because sometimes I feel like there are those who claim to champion feminism but are really just condemning males as much as they can - I realize you're not doing that, and I'm not accusing you of it.
